Listen to the "beep" sound on the other end of the phone. Jiang Weitao shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Weitao couldn't remember exactly when he heard Xiang Weiding call Zhang Jian'an that way.
When I first met Xiang Weiding, Xiang Weiding was a famous figure in the school, but he himself was ignored, even a person who attracted people's dislike.
It seems that modern people always pay attention to protecting themselves, or they always habitually set a safe distance between people. Some people treat people with gentleness on the surface, but they are thousands of miles away from others under the mask of gentleness, while others, like Xiang Weiding, clearly show their likes and dislikes without concealing it.
Jiang Weitao turned the ultra-thin mobile phone between his fingers, and sighed softly. From the day we met, he knew that Xiang Weiding was undisguised. It is easy to be pleased by others.
Of course, Xiang Weiding also has a family member as good as Zhang Jianan. Always behind him, giving him the support of life. He doesn't have to worry about not being liked by others and becoming a loner, so Xiang Weiding can be lonely.
However, the treatment Jiang Weitao received when he was a child was very different from that of Xiang Weiding. Xiang Weiding unceremoniously exuded the cold air of refusing people to approach, and he was still sought after by others, while Jiang Weitao was cautious when he was a child, but he could not get a relationship Good friend.
Squinting his eyes, Jiang Weitao thought, everyone was too young back then, so they were all innocent! Little Jiang Weitao, who was in the dust, faced Xiang Weiding at that time, only envious, not jealous.
Just because of an encounter outside the school, a rescue by Xiang Weiding, the two had an intersection, Jiang Weitao met Xiang Weiding, and then life began to be different, staying with such dazzling people, even if they were unknown before. People also began to be noticed and became topical figures.
However, Jiang Weitao thought about it later, maybe he was very happy because of the child's desire to be noticed at the beginning, and after a long time, he will not feel that being noticed at school is something to be proud of!
Jiang Weitao felt that Xiang Weiding could be considered. And being able to get to know Zhang Jian'an through Xiang Weiding and have the opportunity to enter the Zhang family, this is his greatest luck.
What does Zhang Jian'an look like in Jiang Weitao's eyes?
He tilted his head and thought about it carefully.
It was the first time I went to Zhang's house and met Uncle Zhang Jianan Zhang for the first time. At that time, he was only 13 years old, and he was still a timid child with low self-esteem.
With excitement and apprehension, he tried his best to follow Xiang Weiding's steps.
excited? Excited that he is the person closest to Xiang Weiding in the school, and being looked at enviously by so many classmates, he couldn't help being unhappy.
perturbed? But I am afraid that Xiang Weiding's family members will be like the parents of those classmates in the past, with a forced smile on their faces, and undisguised disgust in their eyes. Some parents will drag their classmates to another room and order them not to talk to them. Some classmates' parents directly told themselves not to affect their children's study in front of their own faces.
Trying so hard to suppress the excitement, but also endured the apprehension, entered the door of Zhang's house, and what he saw was a man wearing an apron, with a friendly smile, a gentle tone, and a warm demeanor.
Jiang Weitao could never forget the words that came to mind when he saw Zhang Jian'an for the first time - uncle next door.
Uncle?
The uncle of the neighbor's house?
hehe! Even now, Jiang Weitao couldn't help but smile.
I remember when I was studying at that time, there were always textbooks about my brother next door. The sister next door, the auntie next door, and even when everyone was writing essays, Xiaoming next door often appeared. Even in the heart of Jiang Weitao, who was so young at that time, he vaguely felt that what was next door should always be It's very close, and I even feel that the word next door is used, it is a word with an intimate taste!
However, in Jiang Weitao's previous life, before he met Zhang Jian'an, he never knew what to use the neighbor's. Until the day I met Zhang Jianan.
Xiang Weiding, who has always been cold and indifferent to everyone in school, is obedient when facing Uncle Zhang, a look that Jiang Weitao never thought of before coming to Zhang's house, he can laugh, speak slowly, and Has imperceptible coquettishness and dependence.
Xiang Weiding, who was so imposing outside, suddenly turned into an ordinary little boy who needed the care of his parents. The gap was too great. Jiang Weitao was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time!
Then Uncle Zhang, who was just a young man at that time, looked at him enthusiastically. Jiang Weitao, who has always been sensitive, immediately felt that this Uncle Zhang treated him very differently from other classmates and parents. The young Uncle Zhang's eyes were filled with strange relief for taking his children's defenses down by himself?
Relieved? Yes, Jiang Weitao felt that the young Uncle Zhang was happy to see him, even very happy. So at the table, they enthusiastically brought food for themselves, and when they were about to leave, they kept telling themselves to come back to play next time.
The first time I went to Zhangjia. Little Jiang Weitao thought it was a wonderful, even miraculous experience. It seems that in life, I discovered something very different, very special...something very beautiful.
If Jiang Weitao's contact with Zhang's family is just to play and have a meal occasionally, then Zhang Jian'an may always be just an uncle next door, and then maybe after Jiang Weitao grows up, he will only think of such a person occasionally. Wei Ding was just a classmate he was very proud of when he was young.
However, his mother passed away suddenly, and his father left him alone. When Jiang Weitao was alone in the cold house and no one cared about him, the door rang open, and the boy with a clear face brought a ray of light into Weiding's dark world. , Then Zhang Jianan opened a warm door for him.
The nearly one year of living in Zhang's family was the happiest life in Jiang Weitao's life since he can remember!
Two little teenagers go to school together, leave school together, go home to do homework, occasionally the young Uncle Zhang cooks, and occasionally the two teenagers cook together, of course. At first, Jiang Weitao was unfamiliar with everything, so he could only work as a helper in the kitchen.
Every day the three of us ate at that small table, and the young Uncle Zhang would ask the two boys about their studies in a gentle tone, and occasionally he would touch the boys' heads and pat the boys' shoulders as if to comfort or reward them. .
Until now, Jiang Weitao still feels that when he and Xiang Weiding were young, Zhang Jianan's body movements seemed to bring them strength, yes, he still feels that way now.
that year. He can think about nothing, go to school happily, live with peace of mind, and be cared for by Uncle Zhang when he returns home. Jiang Weitao thought that he would live forever in such a simple and turbulent life.
Suddenly, when the so-called father appeared, Jiang Weitao had no choice but to leave the Zhang family, his classmate, friend and brother Xiang Weiding who lived and grew up together, and Zhang Jianan who had always cared for and cared for him selflessly, not relatives more than relatives.
When I came back again, it was already a few years later, he and Xiang Weiding were no longer the little boy they used to be, taller than Uncle Zhang, fortunately, Xiang Weiding still remembered himself, fortunately, Uncle Zhang still So gentle and kind.
Fortunately, everyone is here!
Sure enough! I always feel that Xiang Weiding, who is very imposing outside, is too docile when facing Zhang Jianan, not like the attitude of an ordinary child facing his parents.
Oh, maybe that's not meek, how would you describe it?
Trying to obey, maybe it's not called obedience, Uncle Zhang never asked Xiang Weiding to obey anything, Uncle Zhang always treats them with little request, it's all Xiang Weiding's deliberate effort, and he carefully spends all his time to stay Uncle Zhang's side, don't give Uncle Zhang any chance or reason to keep him away.

Jiang Weitao raised his head and was a little dazed. Unconsciously, he had heard Xiang Weiding call Uncle Zhang that way for several years, and unconsciously heard Xiang Weiding call Uncle Zhang that way in front of him for a year or two, right?
More than ten years have passed, and Uncle Zhang, who has always been gentle and gentle, still looks very young now, not at all like someone who is about to turn 40, but more like just in his early thirties.
I never saw Xiang Weiding call Uncle Zhang "Dad" when I was a child, hehe, now Xiang Weiding always has a straight face, no longer just giving people a sense of distance coldly like when he was a child, but adding a bit of majesty. Then he looked mature, he and Uncle Zhang walked side by side, those who didn't know would never have thought that there would be a difference of ten years between the two of them.
After running around outside, Western countries are much more open. Besides, Uncle Zhang and Xiang Weiding are not related by blood. Jiang Weitao doesn't care about the relationship between them. As friends, they can only give complicated blessings.
Thinking of the word blessing, Jiang Weitao laughed a little self-deprecatingly. Xiang Weiding had always been the object of his envy when he was a child, and it was the same when he grew up. Even now, Jiang Weitao is still envious.
That person, who has been guarding such a good person since he was a child, was cared and loved by Uncle Zhang when he was a child, and someone sheltered him from the wind and rain. When he grows up, he is still eager to let go.
Xiang Weiding is really a lucky guy, and Jiang Weitao couldn't help being envious.
The phone fell from between his fingers and hit his lap. Jiang Weitao supported his head and smiled, shook his head, picked up the phone again, thought about it, and then dialed a number.
"Old man, I won't come back recently, the company has something to do."
"Oh, it's up to you." A middle-aged man with black hair who had no connection with the old man replied lightly while sitting at the desk.
Look, this is his father.
"Well, let's do it like this." Jiang Weitao was about to hang up the phone bored.
"Don't play around with that small company of yours for too long, take it easy and come back next year." The man ordered in a deep voice.
"talk later!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Weitao leaned back in his chair, remembering the red envelope that Zhang Jian'an still handed him when he had a reunion dinner at Zhang's house before returning to Jiang's house on his [-]th last year.
"Wei Tao, you and Wei Ding will only graduate next year, and this year is not yet an adult. This is probably the last red envelope I will give you from Uncle Zhang. Keep it well. I wish Wei Tao a safe and healthy new year." This was Zhang Jianan's gentle and persistent words at the time.
Jiang Weitao, who was already tall and burly, took the little red cloth bag to coax the children, and something surged in his heart.
"Hey, before Uncle Zhang returns to Hwaseong, hurry up and have another meal." Jiang Weitao closed his phone, and suddenly became happy again.
(I coded until midnight, and I finally caught up with today's one, Khan! I can't care about typos, go to bed first! Merry Christmas.)
